New TaylorMade putters: Truss
Say hello to TaylorMade Truss. These are designed for golfers who desire stability but still want a traditional look at address but distinctive from other angles.
Dustin Johnson was actually part of the inspiration for this as he loves looking at a blade putter but finds he putts better when using a mallet.
So what’s this new shape all about? TaylorMade are calling this a stability superstructure and the design was actually influenced by looking at bridge structures and the triangle designs they have for strength. The hosel is connected to the topline of the putter at two separate points. This reduces unsupported mass on the putter to help the face stay more stable throughout the stroke.
This is designed to provide torsional stability and to you and me that basically means to stop the club face twisting on off centre strikes helping the golf ball stay on line.
Why is strike location so important?
If you hit the ball out of the toe the clubface will twist open and the ball will start to the right of where you were aiming likewise if you catch it out of the heel the ball will start to the left.
Off centre strikes also affect distance control due to the ball being struck further from the centre of mass and less energy being transferred to the ball. With the two connection points on the topline more of the clubface is supported meaning more energy can be transferred to the ball across the putter face.
